Emmy-Winning PBS Travel Host Condenses 40 Years of Adventures Into A Must-Read Book for Travelers Gearing Up to Safely Hit the Road Again

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As millions of people continue to be inoculated with the COVID vaccine and reported cases of the virus continue to decline, consumers itching to hit the road again are anxiously awaiting a third component to further stimulate travel: Spring!

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As millions of people continue to be inoculated with the COVID vaccine and reported cases of the virus continue to decline, consumers itching to hit the road again are anxiously awaiting a third component to further stimulate travel: Spring! One year after business and leisure travel came to a screeching halt, consumers are seeing light at the end of a dark tunnel and beginning to jockey for position as the weather thaws and the prospects of travel begin to heat up. Joseph Rosendo is one globetrotter who knows a thing or two about travel destinations, safety, and patience. The Emmy-winning host of Joseph Rosendo’s Travelscope on PBS spoke with ExpertFlyer.com to discuss his 40-year career as a travel writer, a year without travel and plans for the year ahead, and his new book, Musings – The Short Happy Pursuit of Pleasure and Other Journeys.

«For Travelscope’s 12 seasons we have brought experiential travel experiences to consumers around the country, and around the world,» Joseph Rosendo explains. «And I think that is the reason for our success. Today, travelers are interested in genuine, authentic experiences with other people and their cultures, not just a list of landmarks they can check off, and I think our PBS show inspires viewers to experience the world for themselves.»

Rosendo concurred that consumers are chomping at the bit to get back out there and experience the world and physically connect with people again, himself included. The PBS show was placed on hiatus in 2020 and he is anxious to hit the road and roll the cameras once again. But the pandemic gave Rosendo the downtime he needed to compile (and consolidate) 40-plus years of travel experiences, reflections, and insights into a new book. «‘Musings’ is almost a travel diary of my adventures over the past 40 years and includes tips and short, fun stories about destinations and my travel life that are easy to read and digest.»

As spring approaches, Rosendo recommends travelers focus on trips that feature the great outdoors to maintain safe distance protocols. «There are so many great treasures in the world and so many here in the U.S.,» Rosendo says, reminding U.S. travelers that experiencing amazing locations doesn’t require international travel. «We visited beautiful national parks during the pandemic including Yosemite and Big Sur in California. We shouldn’t be afraid of traveling. We just need to be more discerning about where we travel and how we travel.»

As consumers look ahead to summer destination options, Rosendo suggests researching locations who have lifted travel restrictions but beware of their guidelines. For example, Rosendo says that New Zealand and countries in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, such as Taiwan, seem to have a handle on the pandemic and offer amazing travel experiences. But he says you have to ask lots of questions as you research potential destinations that claim to be safe. «Does their idea of safety match mine and what exactly are they doing to keep visitors safe?»

About Joseph Rosendo
Emmy-award winning director and host Joseph Rosendo has been a travel, food and wine journalist and travel broadcaster for 40 years. Since 2007, he has hosted, directed and written Joseph Rosendo’s Travelscope®, the award-winning PBS travel television series. «We close each show with a quote from Mark Twain: ‘Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness,'» says Joseph. «It’s a truth that first turned me on to travel and has kept me hooked for more than fifty years.» He welcomes questions and e-mails at jrosendo@Travelscope.net and fans at http://www.Facebook.com/Travelscope.

Global Airport Information Technology (IT) Market Report 2020-2025: Airports Need to Embrace Digital Transformation to Enhance Passenger Experience and Improve Cost Efficiencies

DUBLIN, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Global Airport Information Technology…

DUBLIN, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Global Airport Information Technology (IT) Market, 2025 – Digital Transformation to Drive Growth» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

Airports need to embrace digital transformation to enhance the passenger experience and improve cost efficiencies.

This research service will focus on the global airport information technology market across the various Tiers of airports (5 Tiers in total) and across 6 key regions, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America.

Sensor technology is maturing and their cost is reducing considerably. These factors, along with low-latency communication technologies (5G communication) will drive large-scale adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) in airports in the long term. IoT will enable airports to optimally allocate resources, enhance the passenger experience, and reduce operational costs.

The future airport will be diversified, automated, passenger centric, and underpinned by secure and trusted data. There is an acknowledged shift in passenger expectations, with the ground experience becoming more important in the passenger journey. System integration leads to more competition among suppliers across airport touchpoints; consolidation is witnessed across key areas such as passenger processing, baggage handling, and operations management. Airports are focusing on solution providers that have an end-to-end solution portfolio for all their information technology requirements.

There is an immediate requirement from airports to enhance passenger self-service and monitor safety guidelines compliance. This will require solution providers to accelerate innovation to deliver high-priority solutions for the post-pandemic market. Airports’ information technology is largely based on legacy systems. This hinders their innovation and increases complexity for IT operations. There is slow adoption of cloud-based infrastructure and solutions as airports are gradually migrating workloads to the cloud infrastructure.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced the technology-spending capability of airports globally. Airports will still invest in digital solutions that are of high priority in the short term (e.g., passenger self-service, passenger flow management). System integration is a key challenge due to its complex and time-intensive nature. It is largely done by mature participants in the market and is a key market opportunity for solution providers. There has been a negative impact on the overall revenue of airports due to the drastic reduction in passenger traffic.

However, investments into digital solutions are still active, as solution providers are developing solutions that can ensure a safe and healthy passenger experience (e.g., contactless self-service). Airports defer long-term projects that are time and cost intensive, whereas they prioritize solutions that are critical to attracting passengers and ensuring safety for passengers and employees.

Two key factors that are essential to the growth of this market are the type of airport ownership and estimated passenger traffic growth. Private airport operators have higher technology investment spending capability, high adoption rates of next-generation technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence), reduced bureaucratic challenges, and a high focus on ensuring a seamless and enjoyable passenger experience. Airports with high passenger traffic will need to ensure smooth transition of passengers at the airport and reduce aircraft turnaround times during peak hours.

Physical expansion of infrastructure to facilitate growing passenger footfall and additional aircraft is a cost and time-intensive process with multiple challenges, such as disruption to current operations and government and regulatory approvals. Airports in Europe and Asia-Pacific meet the above-mentioned requirements and are key growth engines for this market. Tier 1 and Tier 2 airports across all regions contribute to approximately 74% of the global airport IT market during the forecast period. High passenger traffic, a large number of complex IT systems, high focus on minimizing disruption to operations, and a higher potential to invest more in technology are the key factors for such a high contribution to the airport IT market from these airport Tiers.

In the long term, the opportunities in integration and consulting services for solution providers will grow. Integrating new solutions such as machine learning based forecasting and passenger flow management solutions to the legacy systems of airports is a complex process with a high risk of disruption in operations. As airports migrate to cloud-based infrastructure and solutions, medium- and small-sized participants can also play the role of integrators.

As airports are mitigating challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and physical infrastructure constraints, there is an opportunity for solution providers to provide consultancy services that will help airports face these challenges in a better manner.

The 100 new jobs will create a third shift due to a significant increase in RAV4 engine production at the Buffalo site, increasing assembly of an additional 5,900 engines per month, or more than 70,000 engines per year. 

The upgrade project and hiring will be complete in the second half of 2022. Information regarding available positions at TMMWV can be found at www.tourtoyota.com

I have seen this dedication and strong work ethic of the Toyota Team Members firsthand during facility visits, and I’m glad that today’s announcement will create new job opportunities for hardworking West Virginians to pursue,» Senator Capito said. «I’m thrilled that the Buffalo engine plant is continuing to play a key role in producing the engines and motors that power U.S. vehicles as Toyota continues to develop and incorporate exciting new technologies into their fleet.

United States Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.)
«In 2005 as Governor, I had the opportunity to travel to Japan to meet with Dr. Toyoda and company officials and since then they have been a strong partner for West Virginia. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Toyota as they continue to build on their investments in the state, which now total more than $1.8 billion and support 2,000 good-paying jobs,» said Senator Manchin. «Today’s announcement of 100 new jobs and its continued investment in the state is testament to the team in Buffalo and the West Virginia workforce.

EMBRAER S.A.: Embraer welcomes the decision of the Brazilian government to launch negotiations on subsidies in the aeronautic sector

SÃO PAULO, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Embraer welcomes the Brazilian Government’s decisions to withdraw its ongoing World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute with Canada regarding aeronautical subsidies and to launch negotiations on more effective disciplines to regulate government support in the Commercial Aviation segment.

SÃO PAULO, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Embraer welcomes the Brazilian Government’s decisions to withdraw its ongoing World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute with Canada regarding aeronautical subsidies and to launch negotiations on more effective disciplines to regulate government support in the Commercial Aviation segment.

At the WTO, Brazil challenged more than USD 3 billion in illegal subsidies that the Governments of Canada and Quebec provided to Bombardier for the launch, development and production of the C-Series program. These subsidies distorted the conditions of competition in the global market for commercial aircraft, causing serious prejudice to Embraer, in clear violation of WTO rules.

Although Brazil has a strong case, the WTO dispute became ineffective to address the Canadian subsidies and to remedy the distortions generated in the market. After Bombardier exited the Commercial Aviation segment and transferred the C-Series program (now called A220) to Airbus, which has a second assembly line in the United States, the trade dispute against Canada at the WTO is no longer the most effective means to achieve Brazil’s and Embraer’s goal of reestablishing a level playing field in this sector. 

Embraer also supports Brazil’s initiative to launch negotiations for more effective disciplines on government support in the commercial aviation segment, as the best way to achieve this goal, as previously seen with the successful experience of the OECD’s Aircraft Sector Understanding (ASU), signed in 2007 to regulate export credits. Ultimately, Embraer believes that commercial aircraft manufacturers should compete against each other based on the merits of their product, not on the amount of funding they receive from their governments.
